Haydee: I'd be interested in finding out the basis for your statement that "campuses are know[n] for a high potential for violence."
A quick google search indicated more university sites dealing with violence prevention (on campus and in the community) than with violence on campus. There may of course be a bias in the available online literature. I'm wondering if in fact violence (including date rape) is _lower_ on campus and among university students than among similarly sized organizations and industry, and similarly aged non-student populations. This is simply a hypothesis; I have no data to support this. However, I do have a hunch that predisposition towards violence is negatively related to level of education (without implying causality). I'd like to hear TIPSters' takes on this issue. -Max Gwynn On Mon, 21 Jan 2002, H.
